Definitions

  • the present invention relates to packages for flat, pliable objects, especially for film-shaped or wafer-shaped drug forms. These are non-reclosable packages the contents of which become accessible upon opening the package by peeling off a cover layer (e.g. peel film), and opening of which does not necessitate the use of auxiliary means, especially tools (scissors, knives etc.).
  • the packages according to the invention possess features which prevent unauthorized opening, especially by children, or at least render unauthorised opening more difficult.
  • the invention further relates to the use of such packages for packaging flat, pliable objects, as well as processes for packaging such objects by means of the said packages.
  • wafers are also used for the administration of medicaments, especially for oral administration thereof.
  • These are small, thin plates made of an active substance-containing film and whose thickness and dimensions are adapted to the amount of active substance to be released.
  • a wafer is generally flexible, soft, of low weight, and tearable.
  • the overall thickness of such a film-shaped medicament may be 5 ⁇ m to 5 mm, usually 50 ⁇ m to 1 mm.
  • the shape of its surface may be round, oval, triangular or quadrangular, or polygonal, or it may be of any rounded shape.
  • Suitable active substances are medicinal agents of all classes, for example analgesics, psychopharmacologic agents, or even nicotine for smoking cessation.
  • Child-resistant packages are known above all in the field of blister packages for tablets. For example, opening such a package can be made more difficult by providing the lid layer of the blister package with a peel layer which prevents the tablet from being pushed through the lid layer, and thereby prevents removal of the tablet. Only after having peeled off the peel layer is it possible to remove the tablet in the usual manner, by pushing it through the lid layer (DE 196 13 959 A1).
  • Such packages are, however, not suitable for packaging thin, flexible drug forms (e.g. wafers) since, due to their physical characteristics, wafers cannot be removed from a package by pushing them through the package.
  • DE 197 43 485 A1 describes a child-resistant package for products that have a large area and are sensitive to pressure, e.g. transdermal therapeutic systems.
  • the package is made of a dimensionally stable carrier sheet and a peelable, flexible cover layer; the two sheets are sealed to one another.
  • the carrier sheet is provided with a perforation which can be broken open by bending. On breaking open the perforation, a broken edge is formed which serves as a gripping aid for peeling off the cover layer. Unauthorised opening by children is prevented by the fact that the rigidity of the sheets sealed to one another is such that children are not able to summon up the strength in their fingers which is required to bend open the break-open aid, while adults are able to do so.
  • a disadvantage of this package is that opening of the package is possible without hindrance once the first obstacle—bending open—has been overcome.
  • the resultant gripping aid even facilitates peeling away the cover layer.
  • the object of the invention was therefore to provide a package which is suitable for packaging flat, pliable objects, especially wafer-shaped (“wafers”) or film-shaped drug forms, and which makes unauthorised opening and removal of the contents of the package more difficult or prevents the same, especially unauthorised opening and removal by children.
  • a package for flat, pliable objects especially for wafer-shaped or film-shaped drug forms, wherein the package has a carrier layer and a cover layer detachably connected to the carrier layer, wherein
  • the process of opening the package requires a combination and sequence of at least two actions which must be performed independently from one another in order to expose the drug form contained in the package.
  • the package has to be folded and severed along the perforation. Only by these folding and severing operations is the gripping aid made accessible, which in the subsequent step must be grasped with the fingers to enable the peeling away of the cover layer from the carrier layer, thereby making the drug form contained in the cavity accessible.
  • the cover layer is likewise severed when the carrier layer is being torn off along the perforation. This prevents the torn-off section of the carrier layer from being able to serve as a gripping aid for the cover layer.
  • it is instead required to grasp the free edge, which has been formed by tearing the perforation, with ones fingers, as described above.
  • the edge of the cover layer Prior to severing the perforation, the edge of the cover layer, which later serves as a gripping aid, is inaccessible and cannot be grasped with ones fingers as it is connected with the underlying carrier layer. Since, as described above, opening the package necessitates a combination and sequence of at least two actions, unauthorised opening of the package, especially by children, is made more difficult or is prevented. The necessity of performing a sequence of actions reduces the risk of children causing an opening of the package by playful action.
  • packaging materials of paper, cardboard, plastic films (e.g. polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polystyrene, cellophane, polyamides, polycarbonates, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) and metal foils (e.g. aluminium foil) as well as composite materials made of the aforementioned materials come into consideration.
  • a further, preferred, film material is BAREX® (BP Chemicals)—a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. Due to its good barrier properties and chemical resistance it is especially suitable for packaging medicaments containing aggressive and/or volatile active substances, e.g. nicotine.
  • each of the two packaging material components carrier layer, cover layer
  • a high tear strength e.g. according to DIN 53455 or EN-ISO 527.
  • Materials suitable therefor are known to those skilled in the art.
  • the thickness of the carrier layer and of the cover layer is preferably in the range from 0.01 to 2 mm, especially 0.05 to 0.5 mm. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the carrier layer of the package is of a greater thickness than the cover layer.
  • the carrier layer and the cover layer may be produced from the same materials or from different materials.
  • at least one of the two packaging material components carrier layer, cover layer
  • consists of a transparent material e.g. transparent plastic film.
  • the invention further comprises embodiments wherein one packaging material component or both packaging material components are of the same or of a different colour, with each component possibly being of transparent or of an opaque colour.
  • the carrier web may be produced from a non-transparent composite material of paper (or cardboard) with plastics (e.g. polyethylene-coated or polyethylene terephthalate-coated paper), and the cover layer may be produced from a transparent, colourless or coloured plastic film.
  • plastics e.g. polyethylene-coated or polyethylene terephthalate-coated paper
  • the cover layer may be produced from a transparent, colourless or coloured plastic film.
  • at least one surface of the carrier layer or/and of the cover layer is metallized (e.g. coated with aluminium).
  • both packaging material components have a similarly high flexural strength (determinable according to ASTM D 747 or DIN 53121) and tear strength.
  • the carrier layer and the cover layer may be similar or identical in terms of their composition (materials), properties (e.g. thickness, transparency) or/and their function. Therefore, opening of the package can also be performed in such a manner that after severing of the perforation a free edge of the carrier layer (instead of the cover layer) is used as a gripping aid in order to peel the carrier layer away from the cover layer. Generally, upon opening the package, both the free edge of the carrier layer and the free edge of the cover layer are jointly used as gripping aids to detach the two packaging material components from one another.
  • the carrier layer is detachably connected to the cover layer in such a way that the cover layer can be peeled off the carrier layer by using the strength of ones fingers and without the aid of tools, as is known from other peelable packages.
  • peelable packaging refers only to the manner in which the opening is performed (by detaching or peeling away the one half of the packaging material from the other half of the packaging material, as described above). The term does not limit the invention in terms of the usable packaging materials.
  • the inventive package may be produced in the most varied geometrical shapes (e.g. rectangle, square, triangle, trapezium, circle, and ellipse) and in various dimensions.
  • the extent of the surface is generally dependent on the size of the product to be packaged (e.g. a wafer) and is usually in the range from 10 to 100 cm 2 .
  • the size of the first surface region for accommodating the product to be packaged may be varied within a wide range, depending on the extent of the surface of the objects to be packaged.
  • the carrier web and the cover layer may be of identical shape and size; however, embodiments are also provided wherein the cover layer is of a smaller size than the carrier layer or/and has a geometric shape that diverges from that of the carrier layer.
  • the second surface region serves to form a gripping aid for peeling away the cover layer once the perforation has been severed.
  • the size of this second surface region may likewise be varied within a wide range.
  • the surface region should at least be dimensioned large enough to enable secure gripping of the gripping aid. Therefore, its width (perpendicular to the direction of tearing open) is preferably at least 0.5 cm, especially at least 1 cm.
  • the second surface region is likewise completely surrounded by a margin wherein the carrier layer is removably connected to the cover layer.
  • the second surface region extends up to the respective outer edges of the package, and that in these regions the carrier layer is not connected to the cover layer.
  • the gripping aid formed after severing the perforated line is, at its two lateral edges, not connected to the carrier layer.
  • the invention also encompasses such embodiments wherein the first surface region, together with the sealed margin surrounding it, does not extend up to the outer margins of the carrier web, i.e. the area of the cover layer, in this case, is smaller than the area of the carrier web.
  • the packages according to the invention may have a narrow outer margin wherein the two packaging material components are not connected to each other.
  • This outer margin is, however, so small (maximally about 1 mm) that it cannot serve as a gripping aid and cannot be used for tearing open the package.
  • the inventive packages have a partition between the first surface region, forming the cavity for accommodating the object to be packaged, and the second surface region, whose region the carrier layer is detachably connected to the cover layer, preferably by sealing.
  • the special features of the package according to the invention result in the fact that unauthorised opening of the package is prevented or at least rendered more difficult.
  • the inventive package is a child-resistant, non-reclosable package meeting the requirements according to DIN EN 14375 or/and according to ASTM D3475-03a.
  • the term “child-resistant package” means a package which makes it more difficult for young children to open the package and to gain access to the contents of the package, but which enables-adults to use the package in an appropriate way.
  • the above-mentioned perforation lines may be produced in a known manner, e.g. by punching. Apart from such perforation lines, other types of weakened lines also come into consideration, provided that they enable tearing.
  • the length and width of the individual perforations forming the perforation lines may be selected—depending on the tear strength and thickness of the carrier layer and cover layer—such that the strength of ones fingers necessary to sever the perforation can be easily summoned up by adult persons, but generally not by young children. By employing this measure it is possible to achieve an additional increase in child-resistance, if necessary.
  • the packages according to the invention there is at least one perforation line which runs at least partially within the second surface region.
  • the expression “within the second surface region” also includes the case where a perforation line extends along an outer margin of this surface region.
  • the package is preferably designed such that the perforation line or, if two or more perforation lines are present, at least one of several perforation lines runs from a first outer edge of the package to a second outer edge of the package.
  • the perforation line or at least one of several perforation lines may be arranged such that it additionally extends through a margin area wherein the carrier layer is detachably connected to the cover layer.
  • the package has a first perforation line which extends from a first outer edge of the package to a second outer edge of the package, and that it additionally has a second perforation line which is shorter than the first perforation line and which touches or intersects the latter, preferably at right angles. In this way, grasping of the gripping aid is facilitated.
  • the package according to the invention may be present as a single package, but it is also provided to combine two or more such packages so that one package unit results, e.g. in the form of a strip or a card.
  • These packages, which are connected with one another, may be present in rolled-up form or folded in the manner of an accordion. Perforation lines may be provided between the individual, connected packages to enable separation of an individual package. For example, about 50 to 500 of such packages may be rolled up, in the form of a dispenser roll, around a winding core.
  • Each of the packages, which are connected with and can be separated from one another contains a single dose of a pharmaceutical active substance, and each one of these packages possesses the features of a child-resistant package, as described above.
  • two or more individual packages may also be connected with one another in a radial-symmetric arrangement, whereby a package unit in the form of a dispenser disc is formed, from which the individual packages can be separated one after the other.
